Rockwell sensor as a encoder/counter

Our design for the motors driving the shooter wheels didn't take into account and encoder - and I think we really should have one to get consistent speeds.

So - I was thinking that the Rockwell sensors from 2011 with a white/black disc (1/4 of a disc white / black) would work as an encoder. We are talking 5k RPMs so this would be about 10k pulses / sec.

Does this sound like a reasonable solution to anyone else? Has anyone else tried something like this?

I am having problems finding a good datasheet to see what the response time is for these sensors to see if they can do this high of a count rate.
